Albert,
You didn't mention where you live. It makes a difference what kind of
tempuratures you will be subjecting your MG to during the winter. I live in
Western Oregon and don't do anything to my MG except make sure that the
antifreeze is not more than a couple of years old. That's generally not a
problem as I usually end up changing it when a hose needs replacing. We
don't generally have very cold weather here, maybe a week or two in the
"teens" in which case I put a piece of about 6 inch cardboard across the
front of my radiator to help it warm up a bit. I have run 10w40 oil in my
MG since new.

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me what I should do in order to prepare for
"trouble
free" winter driving...I heard that I should change to a 10w-40w or 5w-30
change all the filters, check the battery, clean the battery cables and
connections to earth and to the engine, I've noticed that my radiator is
filled with a mixture that's mostly antifreeze and its still very green,
should I also figure on changing it too, or is it still good even if its
over
a year old? How about the carburetor? Anybody know of a website that has a
possible "winterizing list" that I could access and download? I would like
to
get this "winterizing" project done and out of the way before next spring?
Is
there anything that I should do to the Hood (top) and interior or any
thing else anyone can think of it would be most appreciated, TIA,
